Breaking the Rules

Marley Harrow has always hated drama: she creates art, not conflict. Abandoning New York City to live a laid-back life in Granada, Spain, Marley is following her compass and ambition, ready to be taken seriously as a senior level creative. When Thomas Elker, her boss, gives her the impression that he might want more than her professional opinion, Marley starts breaking the rules, but she doesn't care. Thomas is giving Marley the attention she craves and Marley can't stop wanting more. What will happen when Marley's attraction causes her moral compass to break?

Marley Harrow has always hated drama: she creates art, not conflict. Abandoning New York City to live a laid-back life in Granada, Spain, Marley is following her compass and ambition, ready to be taken seriously as a senior level creative. And, if she's honest with herself, she also wants what her recently-engaged best friend has: the promotion, the charm, and a man who looks at her the way Logan looks at Lily. There's only one problem: she'd rather die than be the center of attention. When Thomas Elker, her boss, gives her the impression that he might want more than her professional opinion, Marley starts breaking the rules, but she doesn't care. Thomas is giving Marley the attention she craves and Marley can't stop wanting more. What will happen when Marley's attraction causes her moral compass to break? Can Marley find a way to fix what's been broken, forgive herself for the damage she's caused, and maybe even create her own fairy tale ending, too?
